.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
This package of \fBnroff\fR(1) and \fBtroff\fR(1) macro definitions provides a
formatting facility for various styles of articles, theses, and books. When
producing 2-column output on a terminal or lineprinter, or when reverse line
motions are needed, filter the output through \fBcol\fR(1). All external
\fB-ms\fR macros are defined below.
.sp
.LP
Note: this  \fB-ms\fR macro package is an extended version written at Berkeley
and is a superset of the standard  \fB-ms\fR macro packages as supplied by Bell
Labs.  Some of the Bell Labs macros have been removed; for instance, it is
assumed that the user has little interest in producing headers stating that the
memo was generated at Whippany Labs.
.sp
.LP
Many \fBnroff\fR and \fBtroff\fR requests are unsafe in conjunction with this
package. However, the first four requests below may be used with impunity after
initialization, and the last two may be used even before initialization:

Font and point size changes with \fB\ef\fR and \fB\es\fR are also allowed; for
example, \fB\efIword\efR\fR will italicize \fIword\fR. Output of the
\fBtbl\fR(1), \fBeqn\fR(1) and \fBrefer\fR(1) preprocessors for equations,
tables, and references is acceptable as input.

.SH REGISTERS
.sp
.LP
Formatting distances can be controlled in \fB-ms\fR by means of built-in number
registers. For example, this sets the line length to 6.5 inches:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\&.nr  LL  6.5i
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
Here is a table of number registers and their default values:
.sp

.sp
.TS
c | c | c | c
l | l | l | l .
Name	Register Controls	Takes Effect	Default
_
\fBPS\fR	point size      	paragraph	10
_
\fBVS\fR	vertical spacing	paragraph	12
_
\fBLL\fR	line length     	paragraph	6i
_
\fBLT\fR	title length    	next page	same as \fBLL\fR
_
\fBFL\fR	footnote length 	next \fB\&.FS\fR	5.5i
_
\fBPD\fR	paragraph distance	paragraph	1v (if n), .3v (if t)
_
\fBDD\fR	display distance	displays	1v (if n), .5v (if t)
_
\fBPI\fR	paragraph indent	paragraph	5n
_
\fBQI\fR	quote indent    	next \fB\&.QP\fR	5n
_
\fBFI\fR	footnote indent 	next \fB\&.FS\fR	2n
_
\fBPO\fR	page offset     	next page	0 (if n), \(ap1i (if t)
_
\fBHM\fR	header margin   	next page	1i
_
\fBFM\fR	footer margin   	next page	1i
_
\fBFF\fR	footnote format 	next \fB\&.FS\fR	0 (1, 2, 3 available)
.TE

.sp
.LP
When resetting these values, make sure to specify the appropriate units.
Setting the line length to 7, for example, will result in output with one
character per line. Setting \fBFF\fR to 1 suppresses footnote superscripting;
setting it to 2 also suppresses indentation of the first line; and setting it
to 3 produces an \fB\&.IP\fR-like footnote paragraph.
.sp
.LP
Here is a list of string registers available in \fB-ms\fR; they may be used
anywhere in the text:
.sp

.sp
.TS
c | c
l | l .
Name	String's Function
_
\fB\e*Q\fR	quote (\fB"\fR in \fBnroff,\fR\| \fB"\fR in \fBtroff\fR )
_
\fB\e*U\fR 	unquote (\fB"\fR in \fBnroff,\fR\| \fB"\fR in \fBtroff\fR )
_
\fB\e*-\fR	dash (\fB--\fR in \fBnroff,\fR \fB\(em\fR in \fBtroff\fR )
_
\fB\e*(MO\fR	month (month of the year)
_
\fB\e*(DY\fR	day (current date)
_
\fB\e**\fR	automatically numbered footnote
_
\fB\e*'\fR	acute accent (before letter)
_
\fB\e*`\fR	grave accent (before letter)
_
\fB\e*^\fR	circumflex (before letter)
_
\fB\e*,\fR	cedilla (before letter)
_
\fB\e*:\fR	umlaut (before letter)
_
\fB\e*~\fR	tilde (before letter)
.TE

.sp
.LP
When using the extended accent mark definitions available with \fB\&.AM\fR,
these strings should come after, rather than before, the letter to be accented.

Floating keeps and regular keeps are diverted to the same space, so they cannot
be mixed together with predictable results.
